Wrangeld Posted October 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 @Michel Van Woudenberg Thanks for signing up for the drive, however, it looks like you already did your absolute newbie drive and a newbie with Vanessa. Unfortuntely, unless there is a pressing reason (new car/not driven in more than 12 months etc.) drivers cannot join another Absolute Newbie. Hope you understand. We will ask the other newbie drive leads if they have room. @Shams Bin Majeed @VIJAYA KUMAR DOPPA Do you have any off road experience? Does your car have tow points front and back? What is your car? Why are you joining the Absolute Newbie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Van Woudenberg Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 I have driven once in March this year and have not done any rides since then, because I was out of the country. My car is a 1978 FJ40 which I have upgraded over the winter and this is first time back in sand since March, I want to take a very easy ride to gently get it back into it. I was ready online yesterday to sign up and if you bump me off this one, I suspect the other newbie rides will be full so pls keep me here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Michel, It's unusual but the circumstances probably mean we can make an exception here - better to go safely than rush into things and with the vehicle having been upgraded I will leave you in the drive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
